Excerpt:
She
put the phone back in her pocket and looked up as the light turned
green. She stepped forward but was grabbed back as the Corolla sped
past her, narrowly missing her.
“You
ok?”
Kaila
nodded as she looked around to see a young man with short curly-blond
hair holding her arm. She looked down at his hand.
“Oh,
sorry.” He let go of her arm. “He was coming really fast.”
“Ah,
no, thank you… I didn’t even see him.”
“Yeah,
Douche! He wasn’t even looking.”
“Anyway,
thank you.”
“Craig…
Craig Pierce. You go to State, don’t you?” He asked.
“Yeah,
you T.A. my Poly Sci class… Kaila… Kaila Montgomery.”
“Oh,
yeah, third row.”
He
smiled and motioned for them to walk as the stop light sign began to
flash. They continued to talk as they proceeded down the sidewalk,
and Kaila blushed, putting her hair behind her ear. The figure
behind the wheel of the Corolla watched and smiled, before driving in
the opposite direction.
Guest Post:
Why do I write what I write?:
Hmmm, well, I guess sometimes it’s
what is required. For instance this anthology asked us to do
something about stalking, so I let my mind wander the dark passages
of that concept and rested on the horror of being stalked and being
in a stalkers mind. But right now I’m also writing short stories
for several romance anthologies. So in that respect, I write what’s
required lending my own spin to it and hoping that people like it.
My own work tends to be a mash-up of
genres. I consider myself a storyteller and I think most great
stories have a little bit of everything. I’m inspired by daily
events, moments in history or even the possibilities of the future.
I do tend to lean more towards paranormal, but I think that’s
because I love the escape of a good book or story and I think that
paranormal lends itself to that. I ultimately write to share my
ideas of what I want to read and hopefully touch someone with my
writing. It’s a powerful feeling to know that what you’ve
written has profoundly affected someone else. I like it.
